NAME

lsmboxrc - configuration file for lsmbox

DESCRIPTION

A lsmbox configuration file consists of a list of configuration options
and their setting. The hash mark ("#") is used as a "comment"
character. Every line beginning with a comment character is ignored.
Whitespace is also ignored.

COMMANDS

setvariable=value
Set a configuration variable to the specified value.
unsetvariable
Unset a configuration variable. This implies that the built-in
default will be used instead.
mailboxesfilename...
Specifies what mailboxes to check. You can have one or several
of these lines. Each line can contain the name of one or more
mailboxes, each separated by a space.
A filename of ! denotes your inbox. A leading ("=") or ("+") in
a filename will be expanded into the path to your mail-
directory.

CONFIGURATIONVARIABLES

folder The path to your mail-directory; this is usually $HOME/Mail/.
lsmbox_mail_command
Specifies what command to execute when the user selects a
mailbox in continuous mode.
mark_old
Specifies whether or not old unread messages and new messages
should be accounted separately. If you explicitly unset this
variable using the unset command, the number of new and old
messages will be added together as unread messages, otherwise
they will be accounted as new and old respectively.
mh_seq_unseen
Specifies the string used in the .mh_sequences file to list
new/old unread messages. If this variable is not set, or
explicitly unset, "unseen" will be used.
spoolfile
The path to where the system keeps your inbox; usually
/var/mail/USERNAME or /var/spool/mail/USERNAME.
lsmbox_padding
The width of the mailbox column. To never add additional
padding beyond what’s needed to align all values, specify ’0’
here.

COMMENTS

You cannot specify a path or mailbox that contains whitespace
characters (space, newline, etc.) Do not bug me about this. Having
such filenames/pathnames is stupid anyway.
I’ve deliberately tried to use the same syntax as mutt uses for its
configuration-file muttrc whenever possible, to facilitate sourcing of
$HOME/.lsmboxrc from your $HOME/.muttrc. lsmbox_mail_command will,
however, cause mutt to emit an error.
